Why does stress build up at transform boundaries?

1 answer:

3 0

Tectonic plate edges are not smooth. At transform boundaries, plates move against each other, but since the plates aren't smooth, lockups form. Stress is built up as both sides continue to steadily push against each other until there is sudden movement, where both plates quickly slide until they lock up again. This is what causes earthquakes.

What affects sounds at their source? MENTION DOPPLER EFFECT AND VIBRATIONS

wel

Answer:

Doppler effect, the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source. This phenomenon is used in astronomical measurements, in Mössbauer effect studies, and in radar and modern navigation.

Many web sites describe how to add wires to your clothing to keep you warm while riding your motorcycle. The wires are added to

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$P=42.075W$

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ .

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: $\rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m$ .

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Putting all together:

$P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}$

Which for our values is:

$P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W$

A runner hopes to complete the 10,000-m run in less than 30.0 min. after running at constant speed for exactly 26.0 min , there

kykrilka [37]

Let v = the running speed
After running at constant speed for 26 min, the distance traveled is
d = (v m/min)*(26 min) = 26v m
Because there are 1500 m to go, the distance traveled is
10000 - 1500 = 8500 m

The running speed is
v = (8500 m)/(26 min) = 326.9 m/min
In km/h, the speed is
v = (0.3269 km/min)*(60 min/h) = 19.6 km/h

Answer: The running speed is 19.6 km/h

Show which of the following functional forms work or do not work as solutions to this differential equation (known as 'the wave

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Explanation:

The wave equation is

d²y / dx² = 1 /v² d²y / dt²

Where v is the speed of the wave

Let's review the solutions

In this case y = E

a) E = A sin Bt

This cannot be a solution because the part in x is missing

dE / dx = 0

b) E = A cos (Bt + c)

There is no solution missing the Part in x

dE / dx = 0

c) E = A x² t²

The parts are fine, but this solution is not an oscillating wave, so it is not an acceptable solution of the wave equation

d) E = A cos (Bx + Ct) and E = A cos (Bx + Ct + D)

Both are very similar

Let's make the derivatives

dE / dx = -A B sin (Bx + Ct + D)

d²E / dx² = -A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

dE / dt = - A C sin (Bx + Ct + D)

d²E / dt² = -A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D)

We substitute in the wave equation

-A B² cos (Bx + Ct + D) = 1 / v² (-A C² cos (Bx + Ct + D))

B² = 1 / v² (C²)

v² = (C / B)²

v = C / B

We see that the two equations can be a solution to the wave equation, the last one is the slightly more general solution
